hi,

Just a rough search on Jamendo (one of the websites on the list on the Creative Commons website - https://creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos ) for carnatic music gave me two results - http://www.jamendo.com/en/search?bq=tags_idstr:*%5E5&q=*:*%20AND%20tags_...

Perhaps, Indian musicians are already contributing to such an effort but might be worthwhile for us to do so more actively. Not only for background music for our videos but also perhaps on some Wikimedia article.

Hey,

We need some music clips that can be used as background score for some outreach videos we are preparing.

http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/ is one source we found. Sound Cloud has some clips too but many are reproduction of copyrighted music.

I am aware of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_files_of_music but looking for easy to navigate sources providing contemporary music.

Thanks,

Ravi

- Free Music Archive (http://freemusicarchive.org/) has a lot of downloadable audio files. - Both archive.org and soundcloud.com have options to search only cc licensed music. - http://www.ektoplazm.com claims of having 7 million free licensed music files - More links to such portals at: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creative-common-music-download - WikiCommons has a lot of music, but it might be little difficult to search them

Best! Subha Sent from mobile, please excuse typos.

Hey,

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I found the following for my use case:

1. http://vimeo.com/musicstore?license=cc

Please use the advanced filters near search box for choosing the license, instrumental option.

2. http://dig.ccmixter.org/free_music

Please use the advanced dig option there for choosing the style, instrument.

3. http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/

You can choose genre and feel there.

4. http://www.freesound.org/

Some cool clips there. You can browse by tags to find more genres and instruments.

5. Audiofarm.org

Frederick, it will be a good idea in general to create and release Indian music under CC. There is a severe shortage for such clips. But, I do not need anything in particular at the moment.

Thanks,

Ravi
